How to half swipe on Snapchat?

[Karren Brady]

Is there an easy way to half-swipe? I want to read a message without Snapchat sending the swiped message. Basically, I don't want to reply to messages sometimes, and I think knowing what the message is about without notifying the other person gives me more freedom to decide if and when I want to reply.

Yesss! To half-swipe, simply go to your Chat screen, tap and hold their Bitmoji, then slowly drag your finger to the right to peek. Just make sure to slide back before letting go!

Go to the screen where you see all the chats, identify your friend whose message you want to half-swipe. Press their icon and slowly move your finger towards right to see the messages. Once you leave their icon, the chat screen will go back to normal.

It's really not a big task to half-swipe messages on Snapchat. Just long-press and slowly swipe right to see the latest message someone sent you. Remember not to do it too quickly, as you risk going from half to full swipe immediately.

I hate to say "I did it wrong! ––– I did it too early and got the 'Opened' receipt!

If you receive a message from someone and you want to view it without anyone knowing you opened it, go to your Chats tab and select "Secret". Slide your finger to the right side of the Bitmoji profile thumbnail, but gently do so. While you skim the message, hold down firmly, and then drag your finger all the way back to the left side before releasing. It preserves the unread icon of the blue or red status intact.

The secret to viewing an email without the other person knowing!

Tap the avatar or name of your friend in your chat screen and drag your finger to the right of the screen. You will glimpse into the chat conversation.

The most important thing to remember: Do NOT raise your finger yet!

Read until you're ready, and then glide your finger completely to the left, and then release. If it is released halfway up the screen - then it will be considered read.
